How To Approach A Woman - Know What You Like
This is what I recommend - go home and make a list of ten non-physical things that you want in a girl. What will happen is that you'll start to realize there are things you want and don't want. When you know what you actually want, this will make your whole game more personal. It also puts you in a higher position - you're not just taking whatever comes along. You have standards.
Now, I know that when you haven't gotten laid in a while your standards fly right out the window. But you've got to start screening and funneling for the kind of girls that you get along best with because this has lots of advantages.
I've been out with all kinds of pick up guys and lots of them suck at meeting women in my opinion. I went out with these guys in order to learn their systems so that I could improve my own. What I noticed is that guys have the best success with all women when they screen for a particular girl.
I refer to it as demographics. Everyone has a demographic they go for, and this forms your standards. The reason I dress the way I do, speak the way I do, go to the type of venues I go to, and everything else is because of this. Basically, the kind of girl I like makes me the kind of guy I am.
Compatibility is the long-term secret to the game. I used to date hot girls I had nothing in common with and it got me stressed out every time. I had to be some other person with them. Often, they would realize that as well. So, it actually ruined my game and it might be ruining yours.
When you're learning how to approach women, it's important to keep these standards in mind. Aside from giving a boost to all aspects of your game, coming up with your own list of wants and don't-wants will make you more confident and enthusiastic to go out and meet girls.
